The fastest way to log out depends on what you're using

Logging out of Paramount Plus takes less than a minute on most devices. On a phone or tablet, you open the app, tap your profile icon, and select "Log Out." On a web browser, you click your profile picture in the top right corner and choose "Log Out." On a smart TV or streaming device, the process is similar but the menu location varies slightly by device type.

The steps differ enough between phones, computers, and streaming devices that it's worth knowing the exact path for what you're using right now. If you're trying to log out on a device you don't own — a friend's phone, a work computer, a hotel TV — the process is the same, but you may want to clear your watch history or payment information first.

Key Takeaways

  • On phones and tablets, open the Paramount Plus app, tap your profile icon at the bottom right, and select "Log Out."
  • On a web browser, click your profile picture in the top right corner and choose "Log Out" from the dropdown menu.
  • On smart TVs and streaming devices like Roku or Fire Stick, navigate to your profile settings and select "Log Out" — the exact menu path varies by device.
  • Logging out removes your account from that device but does not cancel your subscription or affect other devices where you're signed in.
  • If you forget to log out on a shared device, you can remotely sign out from your account settings on any other device.

Logging out on iPhone, iPad, or Android phones

Open the Paramount Plus app and look for your profile icon — it's usually a circle with your initials or a generic person silhouette at the bottom right of the screen. Tap it to open your profile menu.

Scroll down until you see "Log Out" or "Sign Out" near the bottom of the menu. Tap it, and the app will ask you to confirm. Select "Log Out" again, and you're signed out. The app stays on your phone, but your account is no longer active on it.

Logging out on a computer or web browser

Go to the Paramount Plus website and sign in if you're not already. Look for your profile picture or icon in the top right corner of the page — it's usually a small circle with your initials or image.

Click on it to open a dropdown menu. You'll see options like "Account," "Settings," and "Log Out." Click "Log Out" directly, or if you don't see it in the dropdown, click "Account" first and look for a "Log Out" button on that page. Your browser will return to the Paramount Plus home page, and you're signed out.

Logging out on Roku, Fire Stick, Apple TV, or other streaming devices

The exact steps vary by device, but the general path is the same. On your remote, navigate to your profile icon or account settings — usually found in the top right corner or in a main menu. Press select or enter to open it.

Look for "Settings," "Account," or "Profile" and open it. Scroll down to find "Log Out" or "Sign Out" and select it. The device will confirm the action, and you'll be returned to the home screen. Your account is now signed out on that device.

If you're having trouble finding the logout option on a specific device, check the Paramount Plus help center or your device's manual — some older streaming devices have different menu layouts.

What happens when you log out

Logging out removes your account from that one device only. Your subscription stays active, and you remain signed in on any other phones, tablets, computers, or streaming devices where you've logged in. You can sign back in on the device you just logged out of whenever you want.

Logging out does not delete your watch history, saved shows, or account settings. If you sign back in on the same device, your profile and preferences will be exactly as you left them.

Logging out remotely if you forgot on a shared device

If you used Paramount Plus on someone else's device and forgot to log out, you can sign them out from your own device. Sign in to your account on any device, go to your account settings or profile page, and look for "Devices" or "Active Sessions."

You'll see a list of devices where your account is currently signed in. Find the device you want to log out of and select "Remove" or "Sign Out." Your account will be when ready signed out on that device, even if you're not physically near it. The person using that device will be signed out the next time they try to use the app.

Clearing your information before logging out on a shared device

If you're logging out on a device you don't own — a friend's phone, a family member's tablet, or a public computer — you may want to remove your payment information or watch history first. Some of this information stays on the device even after you log out.

Before you log out, go to your account settings and look for "Payment Methods" or "Billing." Remove any credit cards or payment information you added. You can also clear your watch history by going to your profile, finding "Continue Watching" or "Watch History," and selecting the option to clear it. Then log out as usual.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does logging out cancel my Paramount Plus subscription?

No. Logging out only removes your account from that device. Your subscription remains active and you can sign back in anytime. To cancel your subscription, you need to go to your account settings and choose the cancellation option.

Can I log out on multiple devices at once?

You have to log out on each device separately. However, you can use the "Active Sessions" or "Devices" section in your account settings to remotely sign out of devices you're not using anymore, which is faster than going to each one in person.

What if I don't see a "Log Out" option?

Make sure you're looking in your profile menu, not the main app menu. On phones, tap the profile icon at the bottom right. On computers, click your profile picture in the top right corner. If you still can't find it, try scrolling down in your profile settings — "Log Out" is usually near the bottom.

Will my watch history disappear if I log out?

No. Your watch history, saved shows, and preferences stay in your account. When you sign back in on any device, you'll see the same profile you left. If you want to delete your watch history, you can do that in your account settings before logging out.

Can someone else use my account after I log out?

Only if they know your email and password. Logging out removes your account from the device, but it doesn't prevent someone from signing in with your credentials. If you're concerned about security on a shared device, consider changing your password after logging out.
